Synthesis and Evaluation of Enantiomeric Purity of Protectedα-Amino and Peptide Aldehydes
摘要:
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp(O'Bu)-H dimethyl acetal ((S)-1) is reported, a protected tetrapeptide C-terminal aldehyde belonging to a class of potent, reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases (e.g.. interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), also called caspase-1). The coupling of the precursors Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-OH ((S)-8) and H-Asp(O'Bu)-H dimethyl acetal ((S)-6) gave (S)-1 in a yield of 85%, with epimerization of < 2% at the alanine and aspartic-acid residue. (S)-6 itself was synthesized in four steps in an overall yield of 83% with an ee >98%.
A compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, of formula I:
X—W
wherein X is a caspase-selective structure and W has the structure of
—NH—CH(Y)(Z)
wherein Y is a structure that can form a reversible covalent bond with a caspase; and
Z is selected from a carboxyl moiety or a carboxylic acid mimetic.

Novel peptidyl derivatives of formula I are found to be potent inhibitors of interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE). Compounds of formula I may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory or immune-based diseases of the lung and airways; central nervous system and surrounding membranes; the eyes and ears; joints, bones, and connective tissues; cardiovascular system including the pericardium; the gastrointestinal
and urogenital systems; the skin and mucosal membranes. Compounds of formula I are also useful in treating the complications of infection (e.g., gram negative shock) and tumors in which IL 1 functions as an autocrine growth factor or as a mediator of cachexia.
